Reports highlight alleged corruption involving a minister and an IAS officer who accepted large sums to award departmental contracts but failed to deliver, prompting complaints to BJP leaders. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met breakaway TMC MPs, providing detailed digital performance reports, surprising many with the extent of monitoring. Additionally, protests over exam paper leaks have occurred in Congress- and AAP-ruled states, with these parties criticizing the BJP government despite facing their own challenges.
